Alastair Clayton commented:
“I would like to welcome Mark to the Board of Artemis which continues to evolve as our projects progress from the current exploration and evaluation phase through to feasibility and commercial production. Mark brings a huge wealth of natural resources experience from a listed company, private equity and hedge fund perspective. I am very pleased Mark has chosen to join the team as we execute our strategy that includes the imminent work programs at Carlow Castle and Paterson Central.”

Mark Potter commented:
“I am delighted to join the Board of Artemis as Chairman and look forward to assisting the Company develop and progress its Carlow Castle and Paterson Central gold and copper projects, both of which have the potential to create substantial value for Artemis shareholders. I am confident these projects will attract significant strategic and financial investor interest over the coming months. Furthermore, a substantial amount of value is yet to be realised from the Company’s wider portfolio of exploration properties and I look forward to unlocking this value for shareholders through various strategic initiatives during this next phase of growth.”
Company Strategy Update
Carlow Castle is an advanced exploration project boasting significant inferred gold and copper resources with substantial exploration upside. Project One Million has commenced and drilling is expected to commence imminently to determine the limits of mineralisation through step out and down-dip drilling. The nearby Radio Hill Plant remains a key strategic asset of the Company, for both a future mine development at Carlow Castle and playing a role in other future minerals processing activities regionally.
The first ground-based Paterson Central exploration activities are expected to commence in March. Artemis owns 100% of the 605 sq km licence surrounding to the North, East and South of the world class Greatland Gold/Newcrest Au/Cu discovery at Havieron and has identified a large number of high priority exploration targets that will be further investigated over the coming weeks. Rio Tinto holds exploration licences to the North and South of the Company’s licence areas.
Artemis has recently begun work on various initiatives that the Board believes may reduce the large implied valuation discount applied to the Company’s 50% joint venture interest with TSX listed Novo Resources relating to the conglomerate gold project Purdy’s Reward. We look forward to progressing this work.
Lastly the divestment programme continues to advance, and the Company has received several indicative proposals which are currently under review.
